Non-military space opera recomendations (lemmy.world)

I'm looking for some good space opera. I read a lot on royal road and KU. I love space opera, but I'm sick of military and AI tropes. Any good suggestions? The more ship to ship battles the better. I understand that may be counter-intuitive, but I've read several privateer/freighter/scrapper books that were amazing. Looking for more of the same.

Thanks!

Star Wars, Firefly, and The Expanse are examples.

I feel like firefly and expanse put to much into realism to be properly space opera.
